Published on | 2 months ago

Programmes Culture and society EIT

The European institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) tries to build the bridge from promising innovations to succesful businesses. It counts about 10 knowledge and innovation communities (KIC) that focus on a specific sector. The EIT Culture and Creativity is one of the more recently established newer KIC's.

To help businesses cross this bridge it has launched a call for applications for two tailored business support programmes designed to accelerate the growth of promising start-ups and scale-ups in Europe’s cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI). The focus is on five key sectors: fashion, architecture, cultural heritage, audio-visual media, and gaming. 

You can apply if you are a start-up or scale-up operating in one or more CCSI sectors, legally established in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe-associated country. Applicants must meet the SME criteria, have at least two years of operations, and a product or service on the market.

The application deadline for cohort 1 has passed but you can still apply for cohort 2 untill the 11th of July 2025. You can find all the application details here

AI4Culture - Empowering Cultural Heritage through Artificial Intelligence

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
